Triumph - The New Face Of Speed

The Speed Triple is back. Triumph has just revealed its flagship roadster now in its fifth generation. The 2021 Speed Triple 1200 RS for all intents and purposes is an all-new motorcycle, with an all-new motor, fresh-new styling added to a smorgasbord of electronics and top-shelf equipment. Despite being just revealed to the world, Triumph is keen to fast-track the rollout of its new flagship roadster. Triumph has launched the new Speed Triple 1200 RS in India priced at Rs 16.95 lakh (ex-showroom, India) with deliveries set to commence towards the end of March. The first batch is limited to 30 units and bookings can be made by depositing Rs 1 lakh. The Speed Triple 1200 RS for India will be built in Triumph’s Thailand facility and will make it to India as a CBU under the ASEAN agreement.

Cosmetically, while each individual panel may be different from its predecessor, the summation of its parts is a motorcycle that is somehow fresh and new, but still has the distinct silhouette of the Speed Triples of the past. Starting with the familiar bug-eyed LED headlight cluster, it is now sharper and accented by the sharp LED DRLs. The fuel tank is notably more muscular than before with new graphics that run along the knee recess, the front mud-guard is carbon fiber and there’s a new body-colored belly pan and a removable tail section over the pillion seat. The new Speed Triple 1200 RS will come in two color themes - Sapphire black that combines black body paint with grey and red graphics and a Matt Silver Ice that sets dark grey and neon green graphics against a steel grey body paint.
